I agree with Marco. Don't get in a real hurry to buy. I went to Calgary Archery Center and shot a bunch of bows. I finally settled on one that I at first wasn't really interested in. After shooting a bunch that one just felt like a better fit for me.
Personally I would go compound first and then start tinkering with a recurve. I started the opposite way when I was a teen. I had to shoot for months to become proficient. And that was with coaching. With a modern compound and a few helpful hints you should be on your way in no time.
I live in Calgary and I would be willing to shoot with you for an afternoon after you purchase your bow. Drop me a line and let me know.
